WASHINGTON--Despite the poor economy, Congress and the Obama Administration should keep health care reform as a top priority, witnesses told a Senate Committee today.
In testimony before the Senate Finance committee, Andrew Stern, international president of the Service Employees International Union said Congressional and White House policymakers should take advantage of the concerns expressed by many in the United States over healthcare issues to enact significant reforms to the system.
"We recognize the significant challenges in addressing the economic problems of our country," he told the committee. "But we also believe we have a once in a lifetime chance to address the economic insecurity of too many Americans by responding to the urgent need to address our nation's health care crisis."
